OIL-STOVE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Mar. 3', 1916.

Application filed. November 23, 1914. Serial No. 873,629. a

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALBERT HENRY CLAY BEATTY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Independence, in the county of Jackson and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oil-Stoves; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as willenable others skilled in the art towhich it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to improvements in burners and more particularly to those designed to gasify and burn numerous grades of either crude or purified oil.

The object of the invention is to Provide a comparatively simple stove which may be easily and cheaply manufactured, and

which will possess a number of advantageous features.

' .With the above and minor objects in view, the invention resides in certain novel features of construction and combination herein described and claimed and shown in the drawings wherein:

Figure 1 is a vertical section through a stove constructed in accordance with my invention; Fig. 2 is a horizontal section as seen on the line 22 of Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 is a similar view taken along the plane of the line 33 of Fig. 1.

In the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this application, the numeral 1 designates an upright annular wall which is provided with a top 2 from which an outlet pipe 3 rises, and with a solid bottom 4 to which appropriate supporting legs 5 are secured. Located near the center of the wall 1 is a pair of rectangular draft openings 6 which are surrounded by outwardly projecting flanges 7, the latter securing perforated plates8 in position, the perforations in said plates acting as draft inlets, Directly beneath the opening 6, at the front of the wall 1 is a door opening 9 which is normally closed by a hinged door 10, said door giving access into the interior of the casing for a purpose to be set forth.

Having its upper end enlarged at 11 and extended through a central opening in the top 2, is an upright air inlet tube 12 which depends from said top. The lower end of the tube 12 is externally threaded to receive threads formed in a hollow boss 14 which rises from the center of a circular plate 15, the latter constituting the top of a burner which includes said plate 15, an annular perforated wall 16 depending therefrom, and a solid bottom 17 from the center of which a boss 18 depends, said last named boss being provided for the attach.- ment of a fuel pan 19 which is employed for a purpose to be described. The pan 19 is preferably secured to the boss by passing a screw 20 through the bottom of the former and into the latter. I

Threaded upon the lower end of the tube 12 and located directly above the burner is an air retarding plate 21 which, as shown, is substantially funnel shaped and is spaced an appropriate distance from the wall 1. Projecting laterally outward from said tube 12 directly above the plate 21, is a fuel supply pipe 22 whose outer end projects through an opening in the said side of the wall 1. Fuel may be fed into this pipe by any suitable means, such for instance as a tank (not shown). I

With the parts constructed as above described, a cut off valve 23 in the pipe 22, is opened, thereby allowing oil to flow through said pipe 22 into the tube 12 from which is will then be discharged onto the imperforate plate 17 From the plate 17 the oil will discharge through the lowermost perforations in the wall 16, into the pan 19. The valve 23 is then closed and the fuel in said pan is ignited, thereby raising the temperature of the plate 17. Thevalve 23 is now again opened, and all fuel discharged upon the now heated plate 17 will be converted into gas, which gas will pass outwardly through the perforations in the wall 16, where it may be lighted. The heat now generated from the burner is deflected outwardly by the plate 21 and into contact braces said tube 12, this being a simple construction yet very efficient. It may be still further explained, that cold air Will enter the openings 6' faster than warm air will rise around the edge of the air retarding plate 21, and that this cold air is thereby concentrated around the burner, thus serving to cleanse said burner and to purify the gas generated thereby.

I claim:

A stove comprising an upright cylindrical shell having an .imperforate air tight bottom portion, and a top provided with a draft outlet, a pair of fresh air inlets in the central portion of the shell both disposed in the same horizontal plane, a drumlike burner disposed in the air tight lower around the burner to facilitate combustion. In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
